It has recently come to the school's attention that some people are going door to door claiming to represent OCA. The paragraph below was issued on Friday, April 24 regarding this activity. These individuals do not represent OCA, and the school is not currently doing any door to door fund raising.
Fundraising Scam
Omaha Christian Academy is warning residents about a door-to-door fundraising scam taking place in a neighborhood near I-680 and Fort Streets. Two men posing as representatives of OCA are fraudulently requesting money for a school trip [or trying to sell magazines]. Residents in the neighborhood contacted the local police because the men where asking inappropriate questions and behaving aggressively while attempting to enter the homes. Omaha Christian Academy is not conducting any fundraising door to door, so any person or group claiming to be working for the school is fraudulent. The perpetrators probably chose this neighborhood to solicit because OCA is building a new school in the area. Residents should be aware and remember to check with the agency involved to determine legitimacy before contributing. Anytime residents have a concern about peddlers, they can call 911 and the police will check them out.
